This release comes ahead of The Cloud Maker’s first public show since 2022 tomorrow night Feb 15 at Eastmint (Naarm/Melbourne) A few tix still available via Humantix. Shaman Dance is a powerful exploration of the ancient art of shamanic rituals, paying homage to Princess Bari, worshipped by Korean shamans as the patron goddess of the afterlife. The Cloud Maker’s music takes audiences on a mythical journey, tapping into timeless power and the mysticism of legendary figures from diverse cultures. In Shaman Dance, the collective brings together a blend of Maori language vocals by Te Kahureremoa Taumata, Aviva Endean’s prepared piano drones and explosive clarinet, Freya Schack-Arnott’s virtuosic cello, Maria Moles’ bounding drums, and Sunny Kim’s evocative vocalisations.

Nau mai e Hine Te uri o Ahuone Ki te whare tapu o Kurawaka Noho mai e hine Horo kau te rere a taikura e Whitirikiria te whiringa īkura Ki te ara o Māhina Ko awa Ko atua Tō whanaketanga e. This song was written to honour and celebrate the tides of new sacred blood. It is a remembering of our connection to the moon whose cycles we sync with. It is a celebration for the womb - Te whare tāngata - the house of the people. This song is a gentle friend telling you to come rest with them as you flow.
